ENGAGE 2024 Professional Learning Conference

Do you have students that struggle with reading and/or writing on grade level? Combining Thinking Maps with interactive word walls can help! This session is based on the work of Dr. Julie Jackson. Participants will be introduced to Dr. Jackson’s five easy steps to create interactive word walls, create a word wall for themselves and even have time to brainstorm ways to turn the concept or Thinking Maps they are already doing in class into an interactive word wall that is research-proven to be effective.

These session will explore gifted learners through popular culture. Teachers will watch Gifted on their own, complete a short task, and then meet at Engage to discuss giftedness through the lens of Hollywood. Visit the GT Update site for directions.
